What about the addict?!
Question:
With drugs and alcohol rampant in our society today and no fool-proof plan of action how are we to gain control? Not only of the dealers, but also the ones who fall into the grips of this deadly disease?
Answers:
We don't gain control. We as non-addicts just have to say NO and to teach our kids to say No and hope for the best. As a nurse it has helped me more teaching my kids that drugs are bad. Take your kids to work one program..I did and they got to see full hand what a drug addict looks like, and some of the outcome of drinking and driving. Talk to your kids nieces nephews. Find websites with pictures and such things like that scare the NO out of them.

one day at a time, and by taking complete responsibility for yourself, your actions and the choices you make.
As a recovering addict (10 years clean) I agree it is one day at a time and no one is without pain as long as a family member or friend is using.

we are more in control of it now. We provide the houses for the druggies so that they dont spread aids by sharing needles and doctors prescribe marajuana and we the people pay for this. Our good tax money go to things like this while us middle class hard working people suffer the consequence and go broke while trying to support them.
whoops i said a little too much.
Being a recovering alcoholic.. and alcohol being a drug. people who want to get drunk or high are gonna get drunk or high.. "gain control"?? "we"?? control is an illusion and who the hell is "we". decent society? people don't "fall into the grips of this deadly disease".. they choose it.
Prohibition and Hitler tried for "control" and "we". They failed miserably and always will..
I suggest attendance at a few AA, NA, CA meetings and then rethink your notion of "control" and "we".
